These are strictly guesses , after reading reviews and seeing what some of you have talked about this seasonand the few that I have seen:
BEST FILM : Atonement
BEST ACTOR: Frank Langella
BEST ACTRESS: Marion Cotillard
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR : Hal Holbrook
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Amy Ryan
BEST DIRECTION: Coen Brothers
BEST SCREENPLAY : Savages
FIRST FILM: (Sarah Polley) Away From Her

Cannot guess documentary, or cinematography.
Reasoning for Actor and Supporting Actor: Langella is riding high, after winning the Tony this year. Holbrook is a highly respected stage actor.
Film and Screenplay: Almost chose Savages for film, but I am going with Atonement based on what I have read from NY critics.
Sarah Polley over Affleck: they love her in NY, I read.
Cotillard over Christie for this one only: flashier performance , sometimes set in New York.
Coen Brothers: it's about time for them.

Atonement seems to have a great deal of support among New York critics, but I think enough other New Yorkers will feel it's too middle-brow and "Tradition of Quality" that they will unite against a film to prevent its victory. There will be blood and PT Anderson strike me as more of a west coast thing.

BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM: 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (runner up: The Lives Of Others)
